Cleaning Carbon out of Exhaust (kx500)

Hey all,

What is the best way to clean the inside of your exhaust (carbon)? I going to have some more questions in a week or so, when I start putting my top end back together.

Thanks,

Daniel

Hughes,
 Thats cool. Thats the way I have always done is but didn't know it was the "right" way. It also helps burn out any additional oil residue that coats the pipe.  As I recall the pipe will ocasionally "pop" loudly when doing this. Cam.

Oven cleaner works well too, just spray the inside and let it sit for a long time and it will just wipe away.  The cleaners with the most dangerous warning labels work the best, haha.

I had to do the something similar once, but I just built a fire in the back yard and thew the pipe in the fire.  The next morning all the carbon was burnt out of it.
